Can anyone advise me please? I was sucessful in winning an auction, with the latter stages being against only one other bidder. This bidder, who had no history of transactions, showing (0) after their username, then became a 'Not a regsitered user' immediately after the auction ended. This raised my suspicions about Shill Bidding and raised this with Ebay. They confirmed Shill Bidding has taken place, and that it's not the first time with this seller, but they will not reveal to me the outcome of their further investigations. I have communicated with the seller, but we are unable to reach agreement but further to that, the seller has made equiries with Ebay also and they have apparently advised her that there has been no policy violations. Obviously contradicting what Ebay told me. Would anyone know of a way of engaging further with Ebay on this matter, or is there an appeal process or whatever might help take this matter further please? Ebay customer services appear to be quite impenetrable, with no_reply email from them.
